Yorgo’s Twitter might be the poster child for 'building in stealth mode'—except the stealth is just a polite way to say 'talking to 1679 people who might all be academics waiting for the app launch.'

Successfully launched a scientifically grounded, gamified personal planner app in under a year after leaving academia, with positive initial user adoption and steady monthly recurring revenue.

To empower individuals, particularly those with ADHD or scattered minds, to live intentionally and manage their lives effectively through a blend of psychological insights and engaging technology.

Believes that structure and fun can coexist to foster productivity and mental well-being, that science should inform real-life solutions, and that intentional living bridges the gap between aspiration and action.

Deep interdisciplinary knowledge from psychology and software development that informs a unique and user-centric product; ability to communicate complex scientific ideas clearly while showing vulnerability and authenticity.

High focus on development and research might limit time for broad audience engagement and marketing; relatively low follower base despite high tweet count suggests potential underutilization of social media growth strategies.

Leverage storytelling to share user journeys and transformative moments with the app; engage more actively with online communities interested in ADHD, productivity, and mental health by replying to comments and collaborating with influencers. Use Twitter Spaces or threads to dive deep into psychological concepts related to the app and personal growth.

Launched a gamified life planner app targeting ADHD-like and 'scattered brain' users, combining psychology expertise with dev skills.

Excited to take on the 6-week buildspace challenge with @orakemu! Though post-PhD was the plan, I'm diving into this idea now, in my spare time! So... Expect new preprints *and* dev updates in the coming weeks What do you think of the idea? cc: @_buildspace @_nightsweekends --- This project is an opportunity to combine my passion for productivity apps with the knowledge I gained as a psychologist and researcher. I'm aiming to create something truly useful. Hopefully, this project could even contribute to research down the line!

This is what I was able to build this weekend without any experience building web apps in #Rust and #Dioxus. I followed a tutorial and got this running! It's a huge step and a small win because I have been thinking about my idea @orakemu for months, but I hadn't built anything…

Perfect is the enemy of done… So here it is: after a long day of work in front of screens, I recorded a video at night about the app I’ve been working on. It’s meant to be candid, in one (and only) take, unedited, because otherwise, it might be days before I publish something. Usually, I don’t mind sharing stuff online, such as art, photography, or recordings of myself singing, but this time it’s different. It’s different because I’m talking about something that matters a lot to me, that I hope will help a lot of people (not just me), and that hopefully will be profitable so I can continue working on it for years to come. The app is called "@orakemu," a combination of two Maori words meaning "life" and "game." It's a gamified life management app that helps you organize yourself, journal, and track what matters to you. If you want to see where this goes, follow me on my social media accounts and message me if you want to try the app. Also, please share your thoughts/initial reactions about the app and this video - positive or negative, I’ll read and answer them all. This is only the beginning and I’m excited for what’s to come. - Yorgo
